Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf (5, -3)}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to solve the system of equations by substitution. We must isolate a variable and plug it into the other equation.

We are given these 2 equations;

[tex]2x-3y=19[/tex]

[tex]x-2y=11[/tex]

1. Isolate a Variable

We can easily isolate x in the 2nd equation. 2y is being subtracted from x. The inverse operation of subtraction is addition. Add 2y to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x-2y+2y=11 +2y \\x= 11+2y[/tex]

2. Substitute and Solve for y

x is equal to 11 + 2y, so we can substitute this expression in for x in the 1st equation.

[tex]2x-3y=19[/tex]

[tex]2(11+2y)-3y=19[/tex]

Now we can solve for y by isolating the variable First, distribute the 2. Multiply each term in parentheses by 2.

[tex](2*11) + (2*2y) -3y = 19[/tex]

[tex]22 + 4y-3y = 19[/tex]

Combine the like terms.

[tex]22+y=19[/tex]

22 is being added to y. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtract 22 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]22-22+y=19-22\\y= 19-22 \\y= -3[/tex]

3. Solve for x

We know that y is equal to -3, so we can plug it back into either original equation and solve for x. Let's use the 2nd equation.

[tex]x-2y=11[/tex]

[tex]x-2(-3)=11[/tex]

Multiply -2 and -3.

[tex]x+6=11[/tex]

6 is being added to x. The inverse operation of addition is subtraction. Subtract 6 from both sides of the equation.

[tex]x+6-6=11-6\\x=11-6 \\x=5[/tex]

We found that y=-3 and x=5. Coordinate points are written as (x,y), so the solution for this system of equations is (5, -3).
